Run an online contest that requires social actions as part of the entry process (example of requiring a tweet to enter a contest. Note: the contest is over)

Get asked to speak at a conference

Actually speak at a conference (i.e. say yes) – I know Rand and Rick will needle me for this one

Have the conference pay your expenses when you speak (including the bar tab)

Get a stalker on Twitter (not a good thing – but it’s probably an indicator of your status)

Run a webinar

Get people to guest post on your blog

Write a blog post (told you it wasn’t in any particular order) – you’ll be surprised at how many people haven’t ever written a blog post

Run a PPC campaign

Create a Facebook page for your business

Get 5,000 people to “Like” your business on Facebook

Write a list post (like the one you’re reading now). Tip: have a brainstorm to get as many ideas as you can for your list post then jam it out in an all-nighter (example: 101 Landing Page Optimization Tips).

About Oli Gardner

Unbounce co-founder Oli Gardner has seen more landing pages than anyone on the planet. He’s obsessed with identifying and reversing bad marketing practices, and his disdain for marketers who send campaign traffic to their homepage is legendary, resulting in landing page rants that can peel paint off an unpainted wall. A prolific international keynote speaker, Oli is on a mission to rid the world of marketing mediocrity by using data-informed copywriting, design, interaction, and psychology to create a more delightful experience for marketers and customers alike.
He was recently named the "The 2018 Marketer to Watch," in the under 46 category, by his mother.
